Answer
The Bagaudae were a confederation of Gallic peasants, slaves, and freemen who rebelled against Roman rule in Gaul. They were led by a man named Amandus and operated in the area around Lugdunum (modern-day Lyon). Maximian suppressed the rebellion in 285, but it was only one of many uprisings that plagued the Roman Empire in the third century.
